The Weather in Sydney today is wet, rainy, cloudy, grey and ever so glorious. I remember i used to associate rainy days as being somber, sad, withdrawn, deflated, unmotivated and just "Blah". Ever since my days in hospital last year and having to fight through some really dark days, rainy days to me are filled with so much light and love, they remind me that storms pass, that we need to have the dark days so we can appreciate the light.
When it rains I encourage you to look at the beauty instead of the faults. The sound of the rain, the smell of the rain, the colour of the trees and little things like enjoying a cup of tea in doors.
Make todays rainy day your best, most inspiring, most loved up rainy day of all time. I am going to share with you my top 5 inspirational, motivational videos that i like to watch that help me get out of a "bad day" funk and back into my skin and feeling amazing.

Ok, Lets just have a reality check for one moment. You are in control of your own health and happiness, you choose the people to surround your self with, you choose to believe in others words and stories, you decide what is right and whats wrong, you can alter and perceive others how ever you want to, and its inevitable that you may have some "haters" and thats totally cool, because not every one is going to love you, not every one is going to think your incredibly amazing like how you (should) view your self.
Purge Toxic Relationships and Thoughts:
For a moment just, STOP and think... Do you have loving, healthy, loyal, warm hearted and trust worthy relationships? Are you on good terms with your loved ones? What relationships in your life are you struggling with? Are you holding onto feelings of guilt, anger, resentment, blame and fear?
Well its normal, its hard to not go through life and not step on peoples toes every once and a while, but its what you do next that counts, you can either forgive or you let it effect you for life. Do you hold grudges?, do you spread rumours and bitch and continue the vicious cycle of anger and resentment? Well my friend you are only doing your self more harm than good. The more you hold onto these feelings the more you will cultivate more of the same, it will start to manifest in other relationships, and may cause disease in the body.
Some times its best to reflect, take a step back and look at the situation from a different perspective, some times the relationship you are currently struggling may have run its course and your souls do not align so you gently give permission to release those negative feelings, forgive and move along. Purge the toxic negative thoughts you may have about your self and others in your life, send white light to those who may have hurt you, or wronged you in any way. when you send healing light to them then you are healing your self of letting it effect you.
Leave the ego behind and be kind:
Firstly when you encounter a "hater", the ego wants to come out and play, the ego wants to win the fights and the mental battles, but the ego is not spirit, the ego can go take a hike because the ego only cares about how we look on the outside it does not come from a place of love and light. When a person attacks you, physically and verbally the ego wants to fight back but what i am telling you is to not retaliate, do not do any thing, either walk away from the situation, or speak your truth with kind loving words.
Some one recently verbally abused me with negative words, I remember my whole body shutting down, and yep I had a bit of a cry(only human, right), but I didn't let ego retaliate instead I sent white light back to the person and removed my self from the situation. Through the argument the other person was trying to put me down in a way that was mimicking my spirituality or maybe making fun of my beliefs by saying in a *sarcastic tone "Namaste". And under my breathe i said namaste back, little did that person know that namaste means my soul honours your soul, i honour the love, light, kindness and beauty that is with in you. In that moment nothing else mattered, that was a gentle reminder to surrender, to not fight back with hurtful words, to give up being right and to simply walk away with out any negative thoughts or emotions on that person. We are all just souls in a physical body, external forces due from the ego causes fight and even war. Let go and see the other person through the eyes of the angels.
Smile, Smile, Smile:
Attach your self to no one, and nothing. Do not let others hold the key to your happiness, keep on smiling. Its our natural instincts to shoot an ugly stare at a person we do not like and being on the receiving end of that stare can be really disheartening, the goal of that person is to hurt us, confuse us and in most circumstances that is a success. Instead shoot back a smile, a genuine smile that says "you might not like me but i am ok with that, lots of love back to you, i am at peace with it". When you smile at some one who might not particularly like you it confesses the hell out of them and leaves them second guessing their own morals.
You Must Forgive so you can move on and really Live:
Forgiveness is the most powerful thing that you can do for your physiology and your spirituality, and it remains one of the least attractive things to us, largely because our egos rule so unequivocally. Forgiveness means that you fill yourself with love and you radiate that love outward and refuse to hang onto the venom or hatred that was engendered by the behaviours that caused the wounds. No matter how much some one has hurt, for give that person. Through forgiveness you are putting down the gun you hold up against your own head. When you forgive you are free. The other person does not have to accept or even join in on the forgiveness and thats ok. Just remember that to truly start living, to let miracles into your life you have to forgive and let go.
So, next time you encounter your own "hater" send them love, forgive them, smile at them, send beautiful white light and in the process you will "Peace them Off".
Namaste ;)
